Yes: There are three main therapies for the disease -- radioactive iodine (i-131), surgery, or pharmaceuticals -- each of which has its pros and cons. I-131 and surgery are considered cure for the disease. Pharmaceuticals will control the disease but might not cure it in 60-80% of the patients.

Yes depending: There are also some natural approaches that can be of benefit, but what exactly they are will depend on what exactly is wrong with your thyroid.
